Welcome From the Principal

Dexter AdamsPrincipal

As the principal, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Glenn Enhanced Option Elementary School. Our dedicated staff works very hard to meet the individual needs of all students and maintain personal connections with their families. I believe communication is the key to a successful educational experience and that education is a partnership between the school, students, parents and guardians, and community.

I welcome you to join the Glenn family and help fill our building with energetic, enthusiastic learners!

Pathways

School Description

Glenn Enhanced Option Elementary School is a neighborhood school that is all about community and family. We enjoy interacting and communicating with parents and community leaders, while our parents value our open-door policy and the steady flow of feedback they receive to help foster academic success. Best of all, our lower teacher-student ratio means we can offer skilled, focused instruction to every student.

Our students have a unique opportunity to learn through a variety of teaching strategies and methods. Balanced literacy, balanced math and project-based learning ensure students can apply concepts and demonstrate true understanding. Our four mobile computer labs and skills-based computer programs provide engaging, interactive learning opportunities. Writing is weaved throughout the curriculum, including a daily writing workshop. Related arts classes include art, music and physical education.

Extended learning opportunities include after-school tutoring for all grade levels and Saturday tutoring for third- and fourth-grade students. Encore is a program that supports and challenges our gifted students. As an enhanced option school, we also offer summer classes and an extended school day.

Extracurricular activities give students a chance to grow by exploring their talents and interests. Free guitar lessons and reduced-cost Rejoice school for ballet are a few of our favorites.
